I Want it that Way?

Ok. So today i was working. That went fairly well, we installed 7 windows. We still have two to install on the morrow, which will hopefully make for a quick day, but i fear the difficulty of installing these windows will cause the day to last longer then i want it to. Truthfully told, i would enjoy a quick day so that i could visit with a friend from Vermilion and a friend from Cold Lake tomorrow afternoon before Cara gets here on Saturday morning. Those friends being a Mr. Lee and a Mr. Couture.

Anyway, after work i came home. Then i played video games, checked my email, and my blog (you see i check my blog to see if anyone commented on it, and far too often i am disappointed by the lack of comments-props to kyle and tim who do actually comment) and showered. From there, i took my cousin Nicole to Subway (where my sister was working) for supper and from there we went to Superstore to pick up some items that were neccesary. On the way, i and my cousin listened to the song "I Want it that Way" by the Backstreet Boys from their historic album "Millenium".

I started singing, as any normal person would, and i was trying to get my cousin to sing as well, but she declined, because she thinks i am a geek. Anyway, as i was singing these words, and i sang them all, because i know them all, and i realized, that i have no idea what this stupid song is all about! So i thought about it.

I think it's about a long distance relationship. Or wanting to start a relationship despite the fact that they know they shouldn't, cause they are not going to be together and each one of the backstreet boys knows that he won't be able to remain faithful to this girl, cause they are all man-tramps. Anyway, here are they lyrics, so you can judge for yourself, and let me know what you think...


"You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way

But we are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

Am I your fire
Your one desire
Yes I know it's too late
But I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

Now I can see that we're falling apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance
I want you to know
That deep down inside of me...

You are my fire
The one desire
You are
You are,
you are,
you are
Don't wanna hear you
sayAin't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
(Don't wanna hear you say)I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say(Don't wanna hear you say it)
I want it that way
I want it that way"

Song of the day is "Maggie May" by Rod Stewart, cause since i moved out, the content of really good music on my parents computer is slim, and this is one of the like ten songs on here worth listening to, and it is worth listening to, so if you have the means and or the desire, come over to my parents house and listen to this song. Peace out hombres.

The harmonious voices of the Street Boys who are back, are very beautiful sounding but their lyrics are seriously lacking of depth.

I heard an interview with them where the pretty much confessed they had no idea what the lyrics meant. Unfortunately, this has started a movement of fine sounding nothingness. I believe Bush is a quality example of fine sounding nothingness. Case in point: Machinehead.

This blogpage needs more interaction. Mike, you need to leave some more comments on mine too. Over and out.

In responce, the song Machinehead by Bush (or Bush X as they were originally known in Canada)is about the adrenaline rush that lead singer Gavin Rossdale got from riding his Motorcycle. That was the first CD i ever bought. I used to be the biggest fan of Bush the world had ever seen.

I'm sure you were. Bush X (as they were known in Canada) song "machinehead" may be inspired by Rossdale riding his motorcycle, but it still is fine sounding nothingness to me. I think Shawn took his machinehead to Morinville today. Over and out.
